![]() The series itself is still in its pretty early stages of production, so not too much is known about who's working on it or when it'll be out. The fact that it hasn’t gotten a well-received adaptation by this point is pretty strange, but if anyone can do the epic quartet of novels justice, it's probably Disney. For many people, this was their very first exposure to grand high fantasy. They should be available at most bookstores and also on Amazon.A live-action adaptation of Christopher Paolini's Eragon is now in development at Disney+. If you haven’t heard of them before I definitely recommend reading them yourself. I enjoyed The LEGO Movie, and all four of the books ( Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance). I was quite surprised by the number of similarities that book Eragon and The Lego Movie share, and had a lot of fun writing them up. In the book Eragon, however, the hero does not try to convince Galbatorix to change sides and right his wrongs, instead Galbatorix is consumed by his own evil and explodes, destroying the palace with him. They almost fail (coincidentally, they are both suspended motionless, but Eragon is released to fight Murtagh for Galbatorix’s amusement), but then they finally win by showing the badguy the wrongs he has committed. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #6: The final similarity I found is that in both stories the protagonist makes it through the battle outside the badguy’s base, and then goes through a gauntlet to get to the main badguy. However while in Eragon the Varden (the goodguys) win, in The Lego Movie Cloud Cuckoo Land is completely destroyed. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #5: In both Eragon and The Lego Movie the goodguys have a hidden base that gets invaded by the badguys. Both of them change sides at the end of the story. Bad Cop is similar to Murtagh, because they are both the right-hand man of the badguy, but Bad Cop is dominantly bad and only sometimes good even at the beginning, and later he is forced to be evil at all times. However, Murtagh is unwilling to work for Galbatorix at first, until he is forced to follow Galbatorix’s orders by magic. ![]() ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #4: Galbatorix has a Dragon Rider under his command, named Murtagh. A difference though is that Eragon hates king Galbatorix, but Emmet likes and believes in President Business. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #3: In both Eragon and The Lego Movie, the protagonist is woefully ignorant, and is guided along by a wise and old mentor. In The Lego Movie Wyldstyle rescues Emmet. However in Eragon, his “girlfriend” does not rescue him from jail, instead he rescues her as he finds her when he gets chucked in prison by the badguys. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #2: The main character accidentally runs into a girl, and falls into love with her at first sight. In The Lego Movie, Emmet is captured immediately after finding the Piece of Resistance. In the book Eragon the main character hides the object (a dragon egg) and – at least for a while – is fairly safe. That’s the similarity, but there is also a difference. ![]() He randomly finds an object that suddenly makes everyone wanting to kill him. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #1: The main character is clueless and powerless at first, and is an average person. As far as The LEGO Movie, as a LEGO fan you have likely seen it already so I won’t summarize the plot, but instead dive right into the similarities between the book Eragon and The LEGO Movie. There is an evil king named Galbatorix, and the protagonist is named Eragon. It is about the land of Alagaesia, and the wars of the people living there. In case you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, Eragon is a fantasy novel, somewhat like Lord of the Rings. I have noticed some similarities between the plot of The LEGO Movie and Eragon, so I thought to start a discussion on it here. It is a very popular book with young readers, is a New York Times bestseller, and was also made into a film (which I haven’t seen, and my friends who are fans of the book didn’t like it – the book is always better than the film, right?). ![]() You may have heard of the book Eragon, which is the first in a series of four books by Christopher Paolini, who began writing the story at the age of 15.
